Welcome to the official website of DARLING, a musical project orchestrated by drummer/composer Hal Darling.

Hal's contemporary music combines structural elements reminiscent of classical music with the improvisational ideals of jazz. Galvanized by the electric energy of his rock music roots, it is intense, complex, and iconoclastic music that careens from lunatic mayhem to sobering menace, with a healthy dose of disrespectful humor thrown in for good measure.
